Dive Brief:
- David Blake writes that while traditional universities have a growing number of sources for ratings — U.S. News, Forbes, and many others — online education does not.
- Blake cites CourseTalk and his own MOOCs.com as two sources.
- But he says there is definitely room for a Yelp-style destination for online education.
Dive Insight:
It's interesting that an online phenomenon such as MOOCs would lag their physical counterparts in reviews, since crowd-sourced ratings are generally one thing the Internet excels at. CourseTalk does have a good selection of ratings, but the market may yet have room for more, like this one offered by StudentAdvisor.
